Since inception, DDU's endeavour is to prepare students for leadership roles.
We not only focus on their academics, but also emphasise on their holistic development. This is
achieved by; providing the best infrastructure at the campus, continuous updating of the syllabus,
declaring the calendar in advance including the convocation date at the outset, arranging industry
internships, doing social work for the community, organising placement opportunities and holding
alumni meets. This is why we have a healthy placement record and an alumni spread across the globe in
leadership roles.
